Send in the Clouds (Final)

image

I painted the horizon and foreground. I could ordinarily get the whole painting done in one sitting but more often than not I only have a short window of time.
5×7″ canvas board.

Send in the Clouds (WIP1)

image

These clouds were a bit more complexed formation than the clouds I tend to emulate. I needed to add fresh paint to my palette, therefore it wasn’t as thick as the last painting. I need to start opening my palette a couple hours early for the fresh Golden Open Acrylics. Strange isn’t it! Although with the smaller clouds it wasn’t such a bad idea to have thinner paint. 5×7″ canvas board.

Applied some of that thick gooey paint to finish up my painting. Incorporated the use of a palette knife. I want to do that more often. 5×7″ Canvas Board

Rolling Up the Carpet #10 (WIP 1&2)

image

I was in the mood to do a panorama, which works well in the plains, and maybe I’ll use it for my facebook bkgd panel? 7×14″ gallery edge canvas.

Here is my sketch before I painted over it.

Rolling Up the Carpet #9 (WIP 2)

image

Today I put the foreground in on this painting. Slopped on as much paint as I could!

8×10″ stretched canvas with gallery edges.

Light Through Trees

image

Oil on Stretched Canvas 16″x20″

This is another painting I did with light through the trees. They are more translucent, and sparse. It’s challenging, I had to do it a couple times before I was satisfied. It’s all about the negitive space, the holes, trying not to create patterns, and making it random. I think it would be beneficial to do more of these in the near future.
